16mm film installation - 14 mins
Inspired by conversations with her grandfather, Cameron's debut 16mm film, for the first words of a dreamworld (2024), explores the intricate connections between the experiences of dementia and the artist's Celtic shamanic practice. Through dialogues that traverse time and worlds, Cameron delves into the concept of non-linear communication, using movement and sound to explore what it means to exist in multiple places once.
Originally commissioned for Glasgow International Festival 2024, the film was developed with cinematographer Margaret Salmon, composer Richy Carey, movement artist Aniela Piasecka, and shamanic practitioner Ruth McCauley. Together, they employed deep listening practices, field recordings, and sound experimentation to create a work that celebrates the fluidity of multi-dimensional communication and the potential to connect across different planes of existence.
